Digestive Enzymes for Better Digestion

The aging process, as well as certain specific conditions, reduce the production of digestive enzymes. One result of this problem is the feeling of bloating after a rich meal. Enzymes are essential for the complete digestion of foods and consequently for the better absorption of nutrients.

• Protease: Protein digestion
• Amylase: Carbohydrate digestion
• Lipase: Fat digestion

Enzymes function as biological catalysts and help break down foods. Raw foods also provide enzymes that participate in the breakdown of foods and their absorption. The human ability to produce enzymes decreases over time. Supplementing with enzymes significantly facilitates digestion and the absorption of nutrients.
